Cidana builds the audio and multimedia IP that powers next-generation in-car experiences and emerging e-mobility platforms. For 19 years, our codec, DSP, and digital audio broadcasting technology has shipped on more than 10 million devices worldwide. We work with automotive Tier-1s, semiconductor platform vendors, audio software companies, and e-mobility OEMs across North America, Europe, and Asia. What we do. Audio codec IP — efficient, low-latency codecs for in-vehicle audio chains, embedded multimedia, and streaming applications. Digital signal processing — DSP IP optimized for automotive cockpit audio, voice processing, and active sound design. Digital audio broadcasting — DAB and DAB+ receiver IP deployed in production by Tier-1 head-unit suppliers in Europe and Asia. Engine sound simulation — DSP and MCU-based audio synthesis for the AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) requirement on electric vehicles and e-bikes, including engineered sound profiles for emerging electric two-wheelers. Why customers work with us. Production-grade reliability. Our IP ships on automotive head units, infotainment platforms, and DAB receivers in cars on the road today. We don't sell prototypes; we sell IP that has passed Tier-1 audits, silicon validation, and field deployment. Platform-agnostic. Cidana IP runs across leading semiconductor platforms — designed to be portable, not locked to a single silicon roadmap. Engineered for the next decade. As the cockpit becomes a multimedia environment and as e-mobility creates new audio categories, we're investing in the IP that will define how those platforms sound. Headquartered in Cupertino, California. Engineering in Shanghai. Customers worldwide. Get in touch — marketing@cidana.com
